Glaciers are one of the most vital physical features we find on the planet that regulate many of its natural systems ranging from the Earth’s oceans to the atmosphere. Glaciers cover over ten present of the worlds surface area and store roughly seventy-five percent of the world’s fresh water supply, making it an essential component for the planet’s hydrologic cycle (Bennett, 2017). Throughout recent geologic history, glaciers have had a profound effect on the landscape, topography, and climate in significant areas of the world, shaping much of what is now the current condition of the planet. A glacier’s size, weight, and composition make them important drivers in the process of land-building through erosion and deposition. Glacial cycles, and
